A covered lanai is one of the most popular spaces to screen in, because the roof structure is usually already in place. That often makes it a faster and more affordable project than a full pool cage.
How Screening In a Lanai Works
- Free on-site estimate. We measure the lanai and talk through screen type, framing color, and door placement.
- Confirming permit needs. Depending on your existing structure, a new lanai screen-in may or may not require a new structural permit. We confirm what applies to your project and handle whatever is needed.
- Installation. Aluminum framing and screen are installed, typically over one to three days.
- Finishing touches. Doors, hardware, and any upgrades are installed and checked.
What Affects the Price
- Size of the lanai
- Screen type (standard, no-see-um, pet-resistant, or privacy)
- Number and type of doors
- Roof-related requirements
- Add-ons like fans, lighting, or pavers
The only way to get an accurate number is an on-site visit, which is free.
Lanai Ideas Worth Considering
Many homeowners pair a screened lanai with a louvered pergola or motorized screens for adjustable shade and weather control, or extend the space with pavers for an outdoor room that flows from the house.
